Congressional vigil planned for Conn. massacre victims

12/17/12 3:30 PM EST

Connecticut's congressional delegation is holding a vigil at 6 p.m Monday in the Kennedy Caucus Room of the Russell Senate Office Building to honor victims of the Newtown, Conn. school massacre. The vigil will be live streamed.

And Rep. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) will honor the victims of the tragedy with a resolution set to come to the House floor Monday evening.

The resolution by the senator-elect condemns the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary and honors the service of teachers, school administrators, medical professionals, law enforcement officials and others affected by the tragedy. It states that Congress will remain committed to preventing similar tragedies.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., tweeted earlier Monday that the House will observe a moment of silence to honor shooting victims and their families.
